  • Sesame Street Platinum All-Time Favorites
    “Sesame Street: Platinum All-Time Favorites” (1995) Added to the National Registry: 2014 Essay by Kathryn A. Ostrofsky (guest post)* Joe Raposo Original album cover Jeff Moss “Sesame Street,” which premiered in 1969 and is still producing new episodes 50 years later, is one of the most recognizable and beloved programs in the history of television. Its meticulously- researched curriculum and its memorable puppet characters have long been acknowledged to have been important factors both in “Sesame Street’s” popularity and in its contributions to American culture, but its music has been just as critical. As a musical comedy-variety show, “Sesame Street” has broadcast thousands of songs and released over one hundred albums, along with scores of singles and book-and-audio sets. Catchy melodies attracted preschoolers’ attention, repetitious song structures served as teaching tools, and professional performances rendered the children’s program entertaining for adults who controlled the dial. Meanwhile, releasing albums extended “Sesame Street’s” lessons beyond the broadcast hour and helped fund continued production of the show. “Sesame Street” reached nearly every American preschooler for decades, cutting across lines of ethnicity, region, and social class. Thus, although “Sesame Street” is rarely mentioned in lists of popular music, it is probable that more Americans can sing “C is for Cookie” than know most of the chart-topping hits of bygone years. The “Platinum All-Time Favorites” album is a compilation of recordings from “Sesame Street’s” first 25 years, released in 1995 by Sony Wonder on cassette and CD. It represents “Sesame Street’s” prolific output of broadcasts and recordings, which served as a common cultural experience for generations of American audiences.

  • Let Us Sing - ​Isaiah 9:1-7 Norwalk Christian Church, December 23, 2018, Calm and Bright Series, Advent 4, Year A
    1 Calm and Bright​ - Let Us Sing - ​Isaiah 9:1-7 Norwalk Christian Church, December 23, 2018, Calm and Bright Series, Advent 4, Year A You probably don’t know his name, but I know you’ve heard his songs. He was the one who first asked us as children, “Can You Tell Me How to Get, How to Get to Sesame Street.” He taught us, “It’s Not Easy Being Green” and that “C is for Cookie”. Joe Raposo was the official composer for Sesame Street. He wrote his most famous composition in 1971, a song simply entitled “Sing”. It began in the mouth of Muppets and traveled the world, thanks to the Carpenters who decided to sing, “Sing”. They took it to a top-ten and Grammy Nomination. Since then, it’s been recorded over 50 times and sung by such a diverse group as Lena Horne, Gloria Estefan, Garth Brooks, and even Ben Stiller and Conan O'Brien. The song brings joy. The words are simple, but I challenge you to hear it sung without smiling, just a little: Sing, sing a song, Sing out loud, Sing out strong, Sing of good things not bad, Sing of happy not sad Sing, sing a song, Make it simple to last, Your whole life long Don't worry that it's not, Good enough for anyone Else to hear Just sing, sing a song. The song changed Joe Raposo’s life, propelled him from Sesame Street to international fame. But in 1988, he just wanted to get away from it all.
